Not as men of science, not as critics, not as philosophers, but as little children, shall we enter into the kingdom of heaven. - John Campbell Shairp

Subtlest thought shall fail, and learning falter,
Churches change, forms perish, systems go,
But our human needs, they will not alter,
Christ no after age shall e'er outgrow.

There is perhaps no truer sign that a man is really advancing than that he is learning to forget himself, that he is losing the natural thoughts about self in the thought of One higher than himself, to whose guidance he can commit himself and all men.

So some small consciousness doth play
On the surface of our being, but the broad
And permanent foundations every way
Pass into mystery, are hid in God.
